>>> Jack -if you are in agreement with BHL then please, by all means provide same reasoning Pujols/Wells would work so hard to NOT be pull hitters??? <<<

Hi Sam R.

There are some of the better professional hitters whose swing mechanics allow them to successfully pull outside pitches. The long flight time of a slow-pitched softball allows the batter to reposition himself in the box for middle-in swings. But the baseball hitters that come to this site do not have the luxury of time nor have they developed the mechanics of the better professional hitters. To encourage them to pull all pitches is irresponsible in my opinion.
